hard reset with button on device, blinks yellow until steady white

chromecast restarts
google home app, set up new device
Home finds "Chromecast3709" as displayed in lower right of TV screen
proceed
the home app stalls with bouncing shapes,
saying "Connecting to chromecast ...' and 10s of minutes, stalls there.

Hi folks,

 

Thanks for the help here, lSawl.

 

Satx, to confirm were you able to set up the Chromecast successfully? If yes, are you having an issue now casting from a Chromecast-enabled app to your TV? Please try to turn off/on the Wi-Fi on your mobile phone. Rebooting your Wi-Fi router and reinstalling the affected apps might also help.

 

Thanks,

Jennifer
